dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the reasons girls enroll in Advanced Physics at lower rates than boys in secondary schools of Pallisa Town Council. The research was conducted using responses of 300 science advanced level students, including 176 females and 124 males students. Results were analyzed using independent samples tests and the iterative process. The data suggests five key differences between girls and boys. Girls perceive physics as less interesting, have lower physics self-efficacy, perceive physics as hard, less fun, and less applicable. One key recommendation derived from the survey is that parents, teachers, and counselors need to do a better job showing girls the importance of physics. Keywords: Females students and advanced physics and low enrollment.
